Psychology in Action, 10th Edition

Engage and Inspire through active learning with Karen Huffman's
Psychology in Action,the acknowledged leader of active
learning and student success. This flagship book's new edition
helps students examine their own personal studying and learning
styles with several new pedagogical aids -- encouraging students to
apply what they are learning to their everyday lives. Through its
welcoming voice, Psychology In Action continues to offer a
program through the book and media with ongoing study tips and
psychological techniques for mastering the material as well as
integration of technology through WileyPLUS.

Additionally, author Karen Huffman has created a new Video
Tutorial Series explaining and contextualizing over 80 of the
most difficult concepts in introductory psychology by using
examples and applications not discussed in the text; hands-on
demonstrations developed in the author's classroom; and "virtual
field trips" in which students see psychology in real world
settings.

Psychology in Action is available in alternate versions
(eBooks and custom) for professors and students. For more
information, visit the "Instructor's Resource" tab or "Student
Resource" tab below.

NEW! The interior has been entirely re-designed in order
to help readers to move through the concepts with maximum clarity
and minimum distraction.

NEW Research Challenges present expanded
discussions of the latest research on “Hot Topics”
(such as Embodied Cognition), followed by a special Student
Engagement Exercise, which asks students to identify the
hypothesis, research method, IV, DV, etc. This repeatedly
reinforces the most essential student learning objectives -- the
mastery of the scientific method and its various components.
Few, if any, intro texts ever revisit this material past Chapter 1,
much less provide interactive, self-testing
opportunities.

A NEWExpanded Psychology Engages section
has been included at the end of each chapter. This increases the
flow of the most essential material, while still preserving the
highly engaging, supplemental material to successfully enrich
learning.

NEW Myth Busters are integrated throughout each
chapter and encourage students to think critically about previous
psychological misperceptions and myths.

NEW Test Yourself is integrated throughout
Psychology in Action asks students to respond to highly
engaging personality questionnaires and self-reflection exercises
in order to increase their motivation and engagement while also
improving understanding of key terms and core concepts. [This
feature differs from the preexisting “Try This
Yourself” because it focuses on “self-tests”
(e.g., “What Are Your Major Hassles?” “Are You
Resilient?”) versus hands-on exercises related to specific
textual material (e.g., “Do You Have a Blind
Spot?”)]

NEW, Upgraded, and renamed Step-by-Step Diagrams and
Concept Organizers, with a small, STOP sign icon and a
note to the reader saying: This Step-by-Step diagram [or Concept
Organizer] contains essential information NOT found elsewhere in
the text, which is likely to appear on quizzes and exams. Be sure
to study it CAREFULLY!

Streamlining and moving the previous learning objectives and
answers to the new narrative summary at the end of the
chapter.

Adding a NEW “Retrieval Practice” section
that reflects the latest research on the most effective technique
for learning and retention.

Increasing the previous number of multiple-choice and fill-in
questions.

UPGRADEDVisual Summaries follow the
NEWnarrative summaries and are now more
visually appealing and less textual. Narrative
Summaries present the learning objectives distributed
throughout the chapter, along with sample answers, in a two-page
spread at the end of each chapter.

Every chapter contains a Lecture PowerPoint Presentation, prepared by Katie Townsend-Merino of Palomar College, with a combination of key concepts, figures and tables, and examples from the textbook.

Instructor’s Manual

The Instructor’s Manual, prepared by Danielle Sprague of Hocking College, is designed to help instructors maximize student learning. The Instructor's Manual presents teaching suggestions for each chapter of the text, including lecture starters, lecture extensions, classroom discussions and activities, out of the classroom assignments, internet and print resources, and more!

Prepared by Karen Huffman and Richard Hosey, this valuable resource offers students an easy way to review the text in-class quizzes and exams. For each textbook chapter, the study guide offers numerous tools designed to save students time, while also helping them master the core information. These tools include chapter outlines, core learning outcomes, key terms, key term crossword puzzles, matching exercises, fill-in exercises, an active learning exercise, and two sample tests (20 items each) with text-referenced correct answers. Each chapter of the Student Study and Review Guide also includes a copy of the Visual Summaries that appear at the end of each chapter in the text. Students in the past have copied these summaries to use during class lecture or text reading, so they have been included in the guide to make student studying easier.

This interactive module gives students the opportunity to test their knowledge of vocabulary terms.

Chapter exams

Chapter exams, prepared by Kay Fernandes at Trident Technical College, give students a way to test themselves on course material before exams. Each chapter exam contains fill in the blank, application, and multiple choice questions that provide immediate feedback with the correct answer. Each question is also linked to a learning objective within the book to aid them in concept mastery.

Handbook for Non-Native Speakers
